Radio Equipment Housing
Question 1

The Government has committed to make it easier to deploy radio equipment housing without the need for prior approval. This is to support the deployment of 5G and incentivise the use of existing sites for site sharing.

Comments: We object to any further developments relating to radiofrequency (RF) transmitter deployment, especially in the absence of adequate public consultation and the approval of local democratic stakeholders and their elected representatives. We do so primarily on the basis that despite claims from PHE, there is more than adequate evidence that the electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions from mast sites compromise health [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

Some of these health damages cause acute symptoms and others chronic. Many of those who suffer acute symptoms are currently focused on finding ‘not spots’ in which to seek sanctuary and protect their health. The World Health Organisation has long accepted that their symptoms “are real” and can be “disabling”.[8] Obliterating these diminishing areas will leave them with nowhere at all to go to seek refuge and current numbers of affected individuals will therefore increase even more rapidly, as will symptom severity and suffering. The current planning regime is enabling violation of the Equality Act 2010, as
well as human rights acts and conventions, and this would be escalated by this Government initiative.
